Checking down the weekend

[bzarcher]

alathaniel: Thurmanized! (Also Starliner-ized, Easton-ized, and got to watch HNIC for the first time.)

Hack3r INC Christmas party: Good! Nice to meet my corpmates in person (or a decent chunk of them, anyhow), and met several other EVE players who showed up as well. Plus, hanging out in Gameworks for a few hours is never a bad experience. (Even if they don't have ANY fighting games anymore. WTF? I mean, I like racers and Time Crisis as much as anyone, but...)

Skee-ball: I totally broke 800,000 on one of my games.

Shootin' Pool: I was ON. FIRE. last night. Perfect combination of beer, muscle fatigue and relaxation to let me line up a bunch of shots and not use too much force or too much english to overcompensate. Got the game-winner on 3 of the Hack3r vs. Everyone Else games, and broke followed by sinking 5 in a row on the 4th.

Alison's birthday: Taking her out to late lunch/dinner on Wednesday, got her present this morning (Amazon 1-day shipping FTW! Only $6!), and probably going to grab some ornamental glass birds for my grandmother as well to go with the book we bought her.

Snowpocalypse: Really not that bad so far - the roads were pretty bad early Saturday, then we got some rain/sleet mix that actually improved them a bit, the plows cleared things a bit more, and now it's snow on top of ice, which is "fun" but managable. We only got about 2 inches, if that - certainly not the 8 that were predicted at one point for last night, but supposedly we're going to get another 3 inches today, so I suppose we'll see...

We got that 8 inches up here in Detroit (ROCK CITY!)

Any skeeball machine that allows you to go beyond three digits is not a true skeeball machine. As far as I'm concerned, skeeball died when they put the little "100" holes up on the left and right sides.

Aside from things getting slightly greasy on 79 once I was back in PA, the weather of doom was rather laughable.

Also, you may inform dklegman that I agree with his assesment of the difference between Pittsburgh and Ohio drivers, now that I have basis for comparison.

You should have been in Akron, like I was. Snow still pouring down at the end of the Browns game, badly enough that I almost thought of staying. Like this, roads were bad before that last 4" came down. But my boss probably would have disapproved. Happily life was better after Mansfield.
